AN OLD YARN.
Secretary Fairchild Speaks Of the
Charges Against Beecher.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The charges
against Collector Beecher, published
in this mornings dispatches from San
Francisco are regarded at the Treasury
department as an old story. The
matter was investigated months ago
and dismissed. That the department
does not consider Beecher guilty of
frauds upon the Revenue is evident
from the fact that he is now employed
as special agent in the same district
over which he formerly had charge as
collector. In speaking Of the case to-
day Secretary Fairchild said it was an
old story, and almost forgotten.

JEFF DAVIS.
Talks of the Many Attempts
Made ON His Life.

Wuuc OH HES kIlhes
BALTIMORE, July 9.-The Morning
Herald of this city will publish to-
morrow a six column contribution,
giving an account of an important
interview with JEFF Davis. In the
interview, Davis, among other things,
charges that the Federal government
conspired, during the late war to have
him assassinated. On this subject
Mr.. Davis says: ''When the Confeder-
ate government was at Montgomery
in 1861 received an anonymous let
ter from Philadelphia, the substance
OF which was that the Governor Of
Pennsylvania had released q noted
desperate from the penitentiary upon
condition that he go to Montgomery
and assassinate me, with a promised
reward Of $4,000 if he succeeded.
The released man stated that he could
not probably succeed alone, and they
gave him another convict with char
acter like his own and with whose as
sistance he felt sure of success, and
the second convict was released
to accompany the first.
ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE.
Mr.. Davis then gave circumstantiaI
details of various attempts on his life.
Once he discovered a man watching
him behind brick wall surrounding
his residence and followed him. The
man ran and escaped through the
barn, with the aid OF conveyance.
While riding out to visit the defeu-

evidently intended for business passed
between them. This shot came from
an apparently vacant house and a sub
sequent search revealed an armed man
Under the floor. He was sent to GEN
eral Lee by pavis's orders with an ex-
planatory note and a hope that he
would be put in the front line to stop
ball intended for a'better man.
ON ANOTHER OCCASION
in the suburbs of Richmond, slsot
was fired at the President of the Con
feracy from behind high wall and
Mr.. Davis continued: "On one occa-
sion when l was known to be travel
ing ON the railroad, information was
brought to me by a lady who had
overhead a conversation in barn that
an obstacle was to. be placed on the
track and the information was verified
by a detachment sent ahead who found
the distractions and some United
States soldiers secreted in a barn near
by the place.
Mr.. Davis gives his motives and
political status in 1861 and claims that
he never was disunionist hut that
the Northern Senators rejected, at that
time, every proposition Of pacification-

PARIS, July 9.-Many houses and

a sensation in Paris and is regarded as

THE IMPRISONED TRAITORS.
Klein will be imprisoned in the
fortress at Madgeburg 1t is reported
that since sentence was passed upon
him he has offered to make fresh rev.
alations concerning his official accom-
plices. The wives of the convicts
Koechlin and Bleck, who were sent to
France, have appealed to the En-
peror for permission to visit their hus-
bands, and their request will probably
be granted. The prison life Of Koech-
lin and Bleck is easy when compared
with that of Klein and Greber. They
have comfortably furnished rooms
which are partly fitted up with their
own furniture, and they can supple
ment the prison fare at their own cost,
and can smoke and read and exercise
within the fortress. The regimen to
which Klein and Greben are sub
jected is the severest prescribed by
law.
THE LIQUOR DUTY.
Since the French Parliamentary
Committee resolved to raise the duty
on alcohol the importation of German
spirits into France has ceased, and no
complaints have been heard from the
German distillers. The effect Of the
French reprisal has been grossly over
estimated by the Austrian distillers,
who have been aroused by the French
outcry, and now demand that their
government raise the existing duty.

ABOUT PATENTS.
How the Office j. Managed and Whence
Inventions Como.
(From tee New York Hs.alI.)

Inventions Come.
(From toe New York Hs-all.)
In the matter of ingenuity tie Ameci-
can people lead the world. More appi-
cations for patents are received and more
patents granted at the Patent Office IL
this city than in any other two countries
of Europe. Great Britain comes next
on the list, France third and Germany
fourth. It was not until 1886 that the
Patent Office was organized; as Z separate
bureau with commissioner and suitable
assistants for the proper discharge Of It's
duties. It is rather a singular fact that
during that year only one application
for patent was filed. Ths ICXt Jear
the number increased to IO6. The IL
crease aas steadily grown until n 1866
y, I571 applicationswere fled. The whole
number of patents granted since 1886 IS
IL round numbers, 800, 0G0. The appli-
cations for patents are regarded as Il
good index of the general business pros
perity of the country. When times are
dull inventors realize that capital is slow
20 risk the success of their experiments.
On the other hand when money IS picnti-
full it is poor inventor who cannot find
some one who is willing, At least, to pay
the legal expenses necessary to tue
taking cut OF his patent. It may be
said, en- passant, if this theory Of The
patent Office officials holds good, that
the country was never IL a moro pros
porous condition, inasrlJcti rs she nun
Der of applications ioc 1886 exceeded by
several thousand those OF any preceding
year.
More patents have been granted to the
citizens of New York than to those Of
any other State. This Is owing probably
to her larger population. Upon this
hypothesis Pennsylvania takes the sec
opd placa, and according to the same
reasoning Illinois or Ohio should come
next, but the trut!, IS shat Massachusetts,
holds the third place, with Illinois fourth
and Ohio fifth. The character Of the
application usually denotes the locality
from which it proceeds. For example,
applications showing the inventor TO be
a man Of high scientific education main
ly come t-oro New York, Massachusetts,
Q. Connecticut. improvements II cot
ton and sugar machinery arc the work
almost entirely OF Southern inventors.
The development Of inventive genius IN
the South has been remarkable during
the past decade. This is especially so
in Georgia and Texas, the two most
progressive States south OF Mason &I2I!
Dixon's line. Tie applications tGon the
South. as recently as lS72, we're Only .
fraction of those lied from the North.
About So d change was noted, ard the

meeting last week, with Amos c. Hull
as presiding Officer. There was an AM
mated discussion on the question, Chow
Shall the Death Penalty be Int!ictcd:'
The presiding officer said that le was
not so much opposed to the present sys-
tenn Of capital punishment as he was to
allowing representatives OF the press to
be present and publish the details Of the
executions in the columns of the dailv
press. Ea was followed y ~. brill,

pointed by the Legislature to report upon
a new system of capital punishment. He
considered hanging the most barbarous
and inhuman method OF punishment
now in existence. The guillo-iDe, lie
thought, the hes. instrument for inhict-
ing the death penalty. His opinion WAS
concurred in by Drs. Quimby and J. c..
Peters, who were both opposed to hang
ing.
the ctA2r side OF the question was
then discussed by Z. T. Benn and Y.
&. Russell, representing TIE legal pro-
fession. and Dr.. Woods. formerly Z sur
sccn IL the army, representing thc
medical profession. They believed iilat
when a person deliberately takes the lite
of another 40 form Of punishment IS too
severe, and that the present system
should not be changed. The proceedings
were closed by Or. Peters suggesting
that the opinion OF each membec OF the
society be obtained and sent to the Leg
islature. This was favorably considered.
